Route Planning:

Money Making guide:

1.       Go to the system: Kremainn, and dock at the station: Wholer Terminal.
2.       Hunt for bounties in the “Resource Extraction Site” or RES, This is found in the one of the Ringed planets closest to the station.
a.       Stay close to the security forces as they will help you take down enemies.
b.      When you are low on hit points or want to cash in the bounties head back to the station.
c.       Feel free to upgrade modules and even buy better ships as you earn more credits.
d.      The goal is to gain over 2 to 4 million credits.
3.       Buy and Upgrade the Type 6 Transporter following this guide.
a.       Feel free to modify as needed, you may want shields, a bigger fuel scoop, hard points, or utilities.
b.      If you just wanted to get into basic trading, only 2 million is needed. Search for a system using the Thrudds trading Tool and trade.
c.       You can earn 1 to 2 million per hour doing basic trade missions.
4.       For those long distance missions, head to CEOS and SOTHIS.
a.       It’s around 500ly so prepare for long range. It’s about a 20 jump trip so 20 minutes in travel time.
b.      Run “Boom Data Missions” between the two system to increase your reputation.
c.       When you have enough reputation, missions will pop up giving you around 1 million apiece, take as many as you can and trade between populated space and CEOS/SOTHIS.
d.      You can earn 5 to 10 million per hour doing these missions. (Possibly up to 50 million if you have an anaconda.)

Good luck! This concludes my money making guide.
